    eek!!!

    Due to current situation and pay being very VERY low this month, I'm gonna be struggling on £10 per week!!!!!unless the gods decide to smile upon me!

    oh my god, I feel sick already!
    Right got some stuff in freezer, so per week I should only be needing some fresh veggies and bread.........
    Every single can/packet of food I've got will be gone by the end of august!
